physically-predicated technical learning in a distal high school at theTexas-Mexico border. These university students fill in a key gap in these high schools as STEMmentors, role-models, and instructors. Our interventions took place at a school many hours distantfrom the supporting university students, which makes the use of remote technologies essential forproviding STEM support. University students met with high school students through videoteleconference. We compared mentor representations and interactions with these models andcompare them to the ”gold-standard” of co-present instruction.This paper lays out the real-world context in which our research takes place, explaining thepractical testing grounds for the research being conducted.

engineeringcurriculum?One approach, taken by several institutions of higher education, (e.g., [2]-[4]) is offersustainability-related certificates; some are general certificates in sustainability studies whileothers focus on specialized topics. At 12–15 credits, such certificates would not typically fit intoa four-year engineering program. Other institutions offer specialized sustainability-relatedcertificates to working professionals in areas such as triple-bottom-line corporate reporting [5],design and construction of green buildings [6], and life cycle assessment [7]. However, thesecertificate programs are either too large (10 credits or more), or too technically specialized formost undergraduate engineering programs, or both.In contrast, this paper

, and educators have advocated moving from educating engineers in a waythat reinforces that engineering is a purely technical endeavor to one that recognizes that it issociotechnical, and happens in a global context. As part of a National Science Foundation -funded project, our engineering program is exploring ways for engineering educators to do thiswithin required engineering courses. In this paper, we present an example of how content relatedto sociotechnical and global context was integrated into a required senior-level Heat Transfercourse in mechanical engineering. We describe the design of the Social Relevance and GlobalContext Module and its use with students in Fall 2017. The module is designed for use in theHeat Exchanger section of
